The problem is that there's no date or year associated with the ratings. I suppose you could hard code a date along with it.

What kind of vis would you want to see with this? There's already something similar in 19. Either way, I will add this to my backlog as I haven't played around with triggers yet and sounds like fun.
So what I've been doing is going to the player list screen at the same time every year, telling the game to dump a set of ratings I've chosen, copy/pasting the long list it dumps into my browser, opening Excel to paste that info in, and adding a column for "Year" into which I type the year of the report.

The one I'd like to see would be like the one in FM. I'll find it again.

Well, I can't seem the find the one I grabbed, but here's another:



So you could click on a player, then click on a list of the attributes, and then a graph shows you how that player has improved (or really: how your scout thinks he has improved or declined) over the years/months.

My pivot tables are a disaster, though. There are these damned numbers on my columns that I can't figure out why they're there. (See attached picture). I was having the same problem with Excel. I just want the damn thing to list the number in the damn column, and NOT try to add it or average it or anything else. Grah. I get so frustrated with these programs, borne out of my ignorance and raised on a diet of constant failure and headache.

It looks much closer to what I want to see if, rather than "Columns," I list the attributes as "Values," but then the stupid thing will insist on making it the "SUM" of the listed values, or some other such function, and I can't figure out what the command is to "DO NOTHING" or "JUST LIST THE NUMBERS, CHUMP"
